Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can be challenging to treat, but at South Psychology, we offer therapeutic approaches to help individuals with NPD understand and manage their emotions. Our dedicated team is committed to guiding you on your inner-self work journey.
Our Approach:
Individualized Therapy: We create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your narcissistic traits, lack of empathy, and emotional complexities. Our evidence-based approaches aim to foster self-awareness and growth.
Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques: Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), we address distorted thought patterns and promote healthier coping strategies. You’ll learn to navigate relationships and emotions more effectively.
Holistic Healing: Beyond therapy sessions, we consider lifestyle factors, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Our goal is to empower you toward positive change.

Supportive Environment: South Psychology provides a space where transformation is possible.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is one of the most stigmatized and misunderstood diagnoses in mental health. It’s often reduced to labels like “self-centered” or “manipulative,” without acknowledging the deeper patterns underneath—patterns that are often shaped by early experiences, attachment wounds, and the need to protect a fragile sense of self. For some, being given this diagnosis can feel confusing or even confronting. For others, it may not fully capture the complexity of what they’re experiencing. At Nour Counseling, we approach this work with nuance, not judgment.
We don’t rely on surface-level labels—we work with you to understand the underlying patterns: how you relate to yourself, how you navigate relationships, how you manage vulnerability, and what happens when your sense of self feels threatened. From there, we actively support you in building greater self-awareness, emotional range, and more stable, reciprocal ways of connecting with others. This includes working through defensiveness, exploring underlying insecurities, and developing tools for communication and regulation that feel more grounded and sustainable. We also consider the cultural and relational context that shaped these patterns, so you’re not reduced to a diagnosis. This is thoughtful, collaborative work focused on helping you move toward relationships—and a sense of self—that feel more stable, connected, and real.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
There is unfortunately a great deal of misinformation about NPD in the media and online. It is also frequently misdiagnosed for other conditions. I have experience both assessing and treating NPD. In terms of assessment, I use reliable clinical instruments (i.e., those used in clinical trials) to establish/rule out this diagnosis. For therapy, I apply several forms of contemporary psychodynamic therapies shown to be helpful in treating personality disorders (i.e., Transference-Focused Psychotherapy, Supportive-Expressive Therapy, and Mentalization-Based Treatment). I have published professional works (i.e., articles and a book) on psychodynamic therapy as well. Please note that I do not do couple's therapy and that I will not schedule appointments intended for other people (e.g., spouses, family members). All potential patients must contact me directly.
